TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! The “60 Minutes” Watch: To no one’s surprise, correspondent Scott Pelley got fired last night after his dramatic public takedown of the program’s new honcho Nick Bilton. Pelley showed what it takes to stand up to the media arm of an autocratic administration. Now all eyes rest on correspondents Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim. What will they do?....Best science fiction in the last week. White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella gave the nearly 80-year-old Trump a clean bill of health over the weekend, according to various reports. Such creative writing! Here’s my takeaway from the report. At 238 pounds, he’s on the verge of obesity. In fact, he’s the heaviest president in more than 100 years. Overall, he’s the third heaviest president in history trailing William Howard Taft (300+ pounds) and Grover Cleveland (260 pounds). Keep eating those Big Macs, Mr. President...Save the Date: The White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) dinner, which was interrupted by a gunman in April, has been rescheduled to July 24. Yawn. Naturally, Trump intends to show up and he’s already yapping on Truth Social about how he might spew some “rather nasty statements, at least as it concerns certain people.” Why does the WHCA want to platform Trump again and give him a chance to kick journalists in the teeth?...So weird: Trump posted a picture of himself on Truth Social from about 20 years ago in a dark suit in front of a mirror under the following 72-point boldface headline: Trump 007. He’s obviously trying to emulate British agent James Bond, 007, who is licensed to kill. So just what message is he trying to send? Beats me...NBA finals start tonight. Go Knicks! (But I won't hold it against you if you root for the amazing Victor Wembanyama and his Spurs)...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard.

Pelley has been redefining awful for CBS since the early days of the George H.W. Bush administration. He has been one of the most egregiously biased people in media during all of that time. Like all of the Dem propagandists in American media, Pelley felt that it was his duty to put whatever spin he felt was necessary on a story, all the while trumpeting that he was doing serious journalism

Scott Pelley Fired from CBS News After “60 Minutes” Crashout

source: NewsBusters

The media hall monitors will likely go into a Chernobyl-level meltdown and go on a multi-day rampage about how the Pelley firing is but the latest attack on free speech. The “for-cause” mid-contract firing certainly anticipates a lawsuit which will draw additional coverage and provide Pelley with a Resistance™ Supernova exit. Likely to Substack.

Happy Pride Month! America’s 250th Birthday Can Wait

Welcome to June, where LGBTQTIAUVWXYZ-supporting Democrats are busy celebrating every identity imaginable except the shared American identity that made all the others possible.

What Pride Month Should Be About

source: American Thinker

Real pride, historically and logically, arises from what we build, create, and achieve -- not from what we merely happen to be.

NPR Plugs Pride Month and Laments That Trump Is Curbing Corporate Donations

source: NewsBusters

National "Public" Radio -- the network that claims to speak for all the American people -- pounced on promoting "Pride Month" on Weekend Edition Saturday, lamenting how the Trump administration's drive against wokeness and "inclusion" in large corporations is defunding "Pride" celebrations.

Kamala Calls Pride an “Ongoing Fight”

source: Victory Girls

The “ongoing fight” to ensure every person could live as their “authentic self” is shrouded in inauthenticity and lies. If you are born by divine design, fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s very image, the “fight” to be something or someone you are not, and never truly could be, ends in defeat.

The Democrats’ Mess in Texas

source: WND

Ken Paxton's opponent is state Rep. James Talarico, a far-leftist. The 39-year-old is a seminarian from the Presbyterian Church USA. That's a shrinking, fully woke denomination whose version of Jesus is Bernie Sanders in a rainbow-colored robe and tiara.

The Democratic Mess in Maine

source: Townhall

The problem is that Graham Platner's sexting scandal has just broken. People don't really know much about it. There will have to be more news reporting. And then we will see what effect, if any, the scandal has on the polls. At the moment, though, we are seeing polls based on impressions made weeks or months ago.

Democrats’ Golden Boy Is Already Imploding

source: Daily Signal

Democrats thought they found their next political golden boy in Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, but they realized his campaign follows the same pattern as disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell—with an even worse résumé.

Graham Platner Revealed His Repulsive Character 10 Years Ago at His Brother’s Wedding

source: The Federalist

As his wedding gift to his brother and sister in law, Platner, who was in his early 30s at the time, stripped down to a pair of skimpy running shorts to do an obnoxious Jack Black-style miming of a Miley Cyrus song — on the day of the wedding.

On Voting for Terrible People

source: National Review

With the victory of Ken Paxton in the Texas and the bad press about the misbehavior of Graham Platner, a question that has bedeviled our politics since Bill Clinton has resurfaced: how to approach voting when at least one of the major-party candidates is a terrible, immoral person.

Meet the Post-Biden Democrats: Biden’s Democrats

source: American Spectator

The failed president still defines the Democrats’ 2028 field.

Mike Pence’s Misguided Call for Civility

source: FrontPage

Pence denounces Trump’s “abrasive and combative style,” but one of the reasons Trump has won three presidential elections (yes, three) is that he has turned the Left’s own tactics – such as mockery and personal attacks – against them. They aren’t used to that from a Republican, and they don’t know how to handle it.

Now Jill Biden Tells Us

source: Wall Street Journal

Jill Biden is out promoting her new memoir, and as for regrets she doesn’t have a few. Only one really: In retrospect she wishes her husband hadn’t run for a second term. Democrats are furious at this ex post admission, and we can see why.
